Rude riders are the target of new TTC policies that will see you paying – literally – for breaches of proper etiquette.
The new fines came into effect on Monday October 12.

You could get charged for smoking on TTC property, putting your feet on the seats and blocking doors.
People who refuse to give priority seating to those who need it will also be forced to pony up.
